University Departments

Below are specific artwork guidelines for University Departments:

• University Departments may not develop their own logo. To develop a center or divisional signature, please contact Creative Services.
• Alternative versions of the University’s logos may not be created. (For example: A bird that represents the RedHawk/Swoop or an “M” that is’t the Beveled-M.)
• University Departments that wish to use third party logos, derivatives of third party logos, or quotes, must submit written permission from the third party to use their logo or quote prior to production of the merchandise.

Regionals Departments

Below are specific artwork guidelines for Regionals Departments:

• Regionals Departments must adhere to the above guidelines for University Departments.
• The official Miami University Regionals logo can be used on merchandise. If a department wants to add their name, it should be in Bembo Medium Italics underneath the logo or in a secondary location.
• On merchandise only, Regionals Departments that do not wish to use the Regionals logo can use the Beveled-M with their office name in Bembo Small Caps underneath the logo. Required safe space should be maintained between the Beveled-M and the office name. Where possible, the safe space should equal at least 1/2 the height of the Beveled-M with the minimum space being 1/3 the height of the Beveled-M.
